LAUSANNE Musée Cantonal des Beaux-Arts presents Visions Du Deluge, on view through April 29, 2007. The famous episode of the Flood recounted in Genesis, the first book of the Bible, has often been depicted in European art and has given rise to numerous books, but to date no exhibition has been held on the subject in France.
